For CVE-2023-42824, vm_object->vo_copy now has an extra generation count.
In vm_object_copy_delayed, after setting vo_copy, it now does vo_copy_generation++;
When comparing vo_copy, it now also compares vo_copy_generation.
(Thanks to Fame_G_Monster for the diff)
Cowabunga Lite beta 1 for iOS 15.0-16.4+ is now out to patrons! Patreon is here:
Join the discord for more updates regarding Cowabunga Lite in the future:
Date in status bar without status bar overrides or jailbreak (not a breadcrumb this time)
(ignore that it is off center i will fix that later)
can be made into pretty much anything and go anywhere on the screen
There appears to be no file size limit for the new exploit. If this is true, then cowabunga v11 will become a reality with no compression or bootloop risk!
iOS 17.2 added this screen after using Cowabunga Lite. If you see it, click "Continue with Partial Setup"
If you tap big blue button without reading, that is on you
3 widgets currently working: date, network up speed, and network down speed
black bar is just for size visualization and will not be in the final version
also it works in any app as well, here is an example
widgets arent customizable yet but will be in the final version
Cowabunga Lite for mac still needs 2 more additions before release, but windows will take much longer. It is possible I may release the mac version by itself and introduce windows support later.
I have been very busy lately and have not had much time to work on anything, sorry
Here is the current Cowabunga Lite feature list:
- easy shortcut theming (with no banner)
- status bar tweaks (custom carrier)
- ota killer
- supervision
- LS footnote
- mute module in CC
- other minor toggles
if you are on 16.1.2 or below definitely DO NOT update
device temperature and amperage widgets complete, same with adding multiple widgets in the same spot
I never found anything open source about getting the device temp, so if anyone wants to look into it, I made a gist about it:
Next cowabunga lite update I will work on a lot of QOL improvements and accessibility upgrades.
After that, I plan to work on an app organization feature (will not require you to restore your device!)
Cowabunga v10 is finally stable enough. Almost no compression, consistent applying, and theming clock app! Beta available to patrons with a public release at a later date.
I was wrong about there being no file size limit for kfd, it still has that limitation. However, it can read and write to more paths than mdc, making it more powerful.
found a way to show the second carrier even when no sim cards are in the device (works for both MDC and Lite)
Is this something you would like to see added?
shutdown sound on unsupported devices using cowabunga lite, now available to patreons (watch with sound on)
Thanks twitter for failing at the draft feature
Since everything is pretty stable, the final release date for Cowabunga Lite will be this Wednesday, the 17th. Discord server boosters will get it early now
Helium v3.2.5 has released!
A whole host of new features have been added. Check the patch notes for everything.
Download:
Thanks to AsakuraFuuko, Helium will continue seeing updates! Please welcome them to the dev team!
Merry Christmas!
Helium v2.0.2 has released!
This should fix many of the stability issues experienced in the previous version. I am still working on getting it to match the status bar color.
Download:
very basic ui right now but no kopen thing because yes
i will make it a lot better and add features like custom locks from cowabunga, hoping to release some time this week
i will continue development for helium for ios 17 users (and those who don't want a full jb) until they get a jailbreak, then i will go back to updating cowabunga lite
Cowabunga Lite beta 3 is out
Cowabunga Lite updates are on pause for a short time as it is being rewritten in rust
Soon it should work on all platforms, Mac, Windows, and Linux
Exact version compatibility is currently unknown
Most tweaks now work on windows cli, only missing icon theming, cc customization, and status bar (status bar will be the most difficult to add)
It is a little difficult to use so I may just try to make a gui wrapper in python
Been really busy with college lately, sorry for the slow progress. Cowabunga Lite v2.0 should come this weekend for Mac as well as the first version of Helium
I am not going to do anything with kfd or any exploits anymore for the time being.
Other tools will come along and people will port cowabunga anyway, so my contribution won’t matter in the grand scheme of things.
this is my only twitter account, please do not believe any other lemin or cowabunga account, and please report their account
the only official website for cowabunga is
This has to be said, the disrespect from the jb community is NOT OKAY. If I remove an update due to bootloops, do not raid the discord or harass me saying that I only removed it for the money. People need to learn patience.
With iOS 17, apple started signing developer disk images. This makes things like Location Changer and AltStore's JIT a lot more difficult to get working.
I am trying to make TSS requests for Cow Lite (pain) so hopefully loc sim will work on 17.
Status update in 5 hours? 💀
I am not continuing Cluckabunga/kfd, no motivation and it is really annoying to work with.
Cowabunga Lite will continue being developed as long as it continues working.
passcode theming *might* be possible on cowabunga lite (and kfd) using symlinks, just gotta figure out how to make that work
so far it can be reliably read by kfd, just need a way to write similar to what resolution changer does
Basic poc of icon overlays now working!
Ignore how ugly it looks, I just found some png online for testing
Some fixes needed obviously, this is just to prove what it will be like

Cowabunga Lite beta 7 is out to patreons with the last of the feature additions before the free public release. All that is left is fixing bugs (Windows will come at a later date). ETA for the mac release is some time this month.
Helium v2.2 has released!
Adaptive text color is finally here! Activate it in the app's settings to try it out.
Thank you so much to Lessica for assisting with everything.

I don't have big motivation to work on Cowabunga MDC v11, it is very difficult to get working properly
I still have some nice features coming to v10.2.0 which should go into beta soon for both Patreons and Discord server boosters
passcode keys just straight up no longer work for me, even with the old code that worked previously
honestly thinking i might just quit and go back to cowabunga lite, the windows version is almost done anyway
Working on a big update for icon theming on Cowabunga Lite. There will be an option to theme icons not included in the selected theme, which can also apply without a theme in case you want the default icons without the display name
I am taking a break from working on projects to focus on school. Cowabunga Lite will still most likely come out this month but Windows support will not come until the summer at least.
Please stop commenting on everything I say with asking about a Windows ETA
I lied... Cowabunga Lite CLI beta 1 for Windows is available now for patreon supporters! The wait is over!
Currently only has springboard, internal, and setup options.
